DESIGN EXAMPLES:

Power Amplifiers:

NuWaves delivers custom high performance power amplifiers to support numerous military requirements including broadband, bi-directional, variable output, high linearity, and high efficiency. Custom solutions tailored to the modulating waveform as well as state-of-the-Art Research and Development are among the many strengths of the NuWaves team.

 

The RFU8096PA delivers better than 50 Watts of RF power when driven with 10 Watts. The Power Amplifier delivers broad-band operation covering 800 - 960 MHz. Operating in class AB mode, the assembly supports both Analog and Digital modulation formats. Applications include Cellular Base Stations.

 

This 100 Watt Power Amplifier operates in the HF band delivering burst transmissions with high duty cycles. The pulsed amplifier is highly reliable and meets the demanding environmental requirements within the industrial market place. VSWR protection, programmable on/off duty cycles and pulse repetition rates, as well as programmable RF output power are only a few of the attributes of this high quality design.

 

RF Transceivers:

  • VHF RF data transceivers:

NuWaves’ RF-V-47-TR VHF data transceiver is a high performance and cost effective transmitter/receiver designed for operation at 47 MHz. The transceiver operates on one of two channels providing half duplex communications. The message formatting, synchronization, and transceiver transmission/reception is performed by the transceiver; no special host software is required to operate the radio. The transceiver boasts a unique NuWaves proprietary RF architecture. The robust design provides the user with future growth capabilities. For example, with little modification, the transceiver can be tailored to operate over other frequency bands and/or deliver higher RF output power.

  • UHF RF data transceivers:

The RF-U-3545-TR-2 RF Module produces 100mW of RF at the antenna port. The transceiver delivers extremely low transmit spurious signals. The design includes robust defenses from against interface issues such as over-voltage, over-current, and reverse voltage protection. The demodulated receiver data is uncorrelated and requires integration into the OEM's host controller for bit synchronization and parsing of messages thereby forming an entire Radio Transceiver. 

 

The RF-U-3545-TR-1 RF Module boasts dual RF output power modes. The transceiver incorporates state-of-the-art power amplifier protection circuitry including a Voltage Standing Wave Ration (VSWR) detector that provides a go/no go indication, over-voltage, and reverse voltage protection. The design includes power detection methods that hold the RF output power relatively constant over varying conditions such as temperature and supply voltage. The transceiver interfaces to OEMs controller board to form a complete radio solution.

 

Other:

The RF70MV1 converts 70 MHz RF signal inputs to a band-limited output at 3 kHz. The output of the module is directly compatible with standard COTS computer sound cards and interfaces seamlessly. The circuit card assembly is housed in a miniature self-contained package.

 

NuWaves designs receivers and tunable front-end circuitries for software controlled radios and custom up/down-converters. Broad-band and low noise performance delivered in miniature form factors are among the many skill sets that NuWaves brings to the ELINT, SIGINT, SDR, and COMINT receiver developments.
